Merged branch libbind-ns-alternative: I haven't found any platform where
this won't build. It doesn't enable libbind or use libresolv better on
every platform where it might possibly work, but at the very least it
avoids build errors everywhere I've tried it.

The blocks are ["manifests" artifacts](./fileformat.wiki#manifest).
Each manifest has a SHA1 or SHA3 hash of its parent or parents,
a timestamp, and other tranactional data. The repository grows by
add new manifests onto the list.
Some people have come to associate blockchain with cryptocurrency, however,
and since Fossil has nothing to do with cryptocurrency, the claim that
Fossil is build around blockchain results in confusion. The key thing
to note here is that cryptocurrency implementations like BitCoin are
built around blockchain, but they are not synonymous with blockchain.
Blockchain is a much broader concept. Blockchain is a mechanism for
constructed a distributed ledger of transactions. You can use a distributed
ledger to implement a cryptocurrency, but you can also use a distributed
ledger to implement a version control system, and probably many other kinds
of applications as well. Blockchain is a much broader idea than
cryptocurrency.
